Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 19, § 595.9 - Certificates of Registration

(a) Every certificate of registration shall indicate the type of acts or acts to be performed as follows:

(1) Type 1--Recharge and maintenance of any or all types of fire extinguishers.

(2) Type 2--Hydrostatic test any or all low pressure non-D.O.T. specification fire extinguisher cylinders.

(3) Type 3--Hydrostatic test any or all D.O.T. specification fire extinguishers cylinders.

(b) Any person holding a valid certificate of registration may take orders for the performance of any act or acts for which authorization has not been granted. These orders shall be consigned to the licensed company for which they have a binding reciprocal agreement on file with the State Fire Marshal and who is qualified and authorized to perform such act or acts.

(c) A person holding a valid certificate of registration shall not perform any act for a fee unless the person also holds a valid license or is employed by a concern possessing a valid license.

(d) Persons possessing a Certificate of Registration and employed by a licensed concern may perform only those acts which the licensed concern is authorized to do and for which the employee is qualified. In the case of an independent contractor, franchisee, or any other arrangement in which the certificate of registration holder is an independent business concern, a valid license is required to be in the name of the independent concern.

EXCEPTION: Contractual arrangements between persons possessing a certificate of registration and a licensed concern are permitted only if the licensed concern provides the State Fire Marshal written evidence that a contractual agreement is in effect, that the contracted person is insured (as specified in section 595.13), and that the licensed concern will assume full responsibility for the actions of the contracted person with respect to these regulations.

(e) To be issued or have renewed a Certificate of Registration, an individual has to either hold a valid portable fire extinguisher company license or be employed by a company possessing a valid portable fire extinguisher company license.
